Hello!!
I've been listening to a couple of CD's by a Canadian trio called the Wailin Jenny's.
Someone referred to them as a Canadian version of CS&N....high praise indeed!
'Course they are FAR better looking (have you seen Stephen Stills of late)!
What you get are good songs, with a (mostly) acoustic presentation, and maybe the finest group vocals that I've heard in many a moon!?
Helps to hear them through a pair of KLH 17's (great mids)!
I've really been impress with the music that has been coming down from our northern neighbor lately!

Steve :music:

They are among my current favorites. They've been frequent guests on "A Prairie Home Companion" for the last few years.

Their first full-length CD, "Forty Days" (their original line-up, with Cara Luft) is one of my current favorites.

They are much better singers (technically and esthetically) than C,S, and N together or separately (IMNSHO). If you have "Forty Days", listen to the coda, "The Parting Glass".

I have only one of their albums - Firecracker - but I like it a lot.

I've listened to the on PHC too. They are very good.

frequent guests on "A Prairie Home Companion" for the last few years.That's where I got introduced to them. One of the most impressive things about them is the quality of their live performance. :music: Excellent stuff.

I'm going to try and catch them at the Birchmere in Virginia on September 26.

Ever think that their name is a take off on Waylon Jennings, the country singer?

umm... ya think, Rob? :-)

Saw them live in Madison, Wisconsin a a couple years ago at a Prairie Home Companion show. Angels, basically. Imagine Alison Krauss as triplets.
